Change


As it has been anticipated over the last few months, the election for the 44th President of The United States has taken place and a winner is chosen. If there has been any doubt over the last few weeks who was going to end up taking the top spot, that individual obviously doesn't know how to read let alone talk to other human beings. Being from the opposing side for various reasons, I have already embraced the fact that my party lost. Not a huge deal considering what was promised and what can actually be delivered, bottom line. My only hope is that in the next four years Obama will change the way other countries view America. Being able to travel freely, not being disguised as Canadian, without ridicule is all I really ask for. The man will bring a new perspective into office, have majority rule in all three branches, and begin a new era. 
In my short life i have never seen anything like this and probably never will again for the rest of my life. This presidential election has changed the way black Americans view opportunity. There is no one who can say, "you can't do this because you are a different color." Obama has defied all boundaries. "Wake up, wake up, it's a new era." However, the American people do need to realize what a president can promise while on the campaign trail and what they can actually do while in office. Such as - revamping the healthcare system - not a small order and no universal solution, meeting with threatening world leaders under no preconiditions - not smart potentially hazardous, raising business taxes - small businesses drive this great country and without them being able to support themselves and their employees, goodbye, etc etc. Obama needs to figure out what will realistically be accomplished and what needs to be changed. Good Luck 44th President - you certainly have your hands full. 

Embrace the change.
